"David A. Smith has become renowned for specializing in reverse gilded embossed glass signs and ornate mirrors. Today he is increasingly called upon to design and produce decorative album covers and gilded glass signs for some of the world’s leading brands.

Captured over a period of 6 days and made up of over 300GB’s of still photographs, this short film showcases David’s hand-rendered illustration of the 'Kings of Leon’, ‘Beautiful War’ single cover."

It would be awesome to see some art prints from him. Also it would be amazing to see a collaboration with Aaron H. on glass!

Never going to happen, still would buy one in a heartbeat.
I've been a big fan of David since the above video first went up... I've never wanted to apprentice at something more in my life. Maybe one day.

Not a John Mayer fan but this is nearly 18 minutes of David at work... http://vimeo.com/60647216

Glad to see they connected and get along! Maybe we'll see some work after all.

Crazy how this was all brought up within the past couples days. I reached out to him a couple weeks ago hoping to work with him. Wouldn't be anything pop related.

His work is incredible
